9:00 a.m. & 11:45 a.m. WORSHIP - IN PERSON and ONLINE - YouTube - Pastor Tara VinCross 

This Sabbath's psalm shifts from trial, to deliverance, to impending trial, all declared or sung in the community of believers. Both praise and lament belong in the Christian community. But is that what we expect to find in church? Hearing authentic, vulnerable stories about challenges God delivered us from and first-hand experiences of trials we have not yet made it through. What if what allows us to make it through the hardships of this life is God working through the community? What if the solid rock under our feet is not only Christ the Rock, but the firm foundation of others who believe with us in God’s deliverance?

We are invited to gain courage and hope from the praises we hear on the lips of those around us in the gathered community.

This week, at our 9am and 11:45am worship services, Pastor Tara VinCross will preach the next sermon titled, “This is My Story” in the series Keep a Song in Your Heart: the Psalms of Summer. You’re invited to join in worship, as we open the Word of God together.

This Sabbath we will enjoy worship music led by Alma Felix.

We hope to see you here!

This week marks the beginning of major remodeling projects in the Fellowship Hall and Ministry Center. Two major capital improvement projects funded through the $1.1 million loan from the Pacific Union voted action at Vision Night on March 11th are now underway on campus. The refurbishing of Sabbath School classrooms with new paint, LED lighting and upgraded LVT flooring has started. Highway Construction, our contractor, is moving on site to completely remodel the Fellowship Hall to compliment the new kitchen which continues towards completion this summer! In the weeks ahead, you will see “pardon our dust” signs in many areas and you may be asked to volunteer to help move furnishings temporarily out from classrooms so this work can be done. The Fellowship Hall areas will be closed during July and August while major work is done to make the needed improvements. We understand this may cause inconvenience as we use Vision Capital funds to enhance our facilities.

Thank you for your patience, understanding and continued faithful support of the Azure Hills Vision Capital Fund which make this work possible! This is just the beginning, watch the progress and look for more exciting news in the weeks ahead!

In Jesus Christ, there is freedom! Take a minute to thrive with Pastor Tara VinCross!
